TaylorSwift 162,687 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 President Trump warned Sweden he would launch a trade war on the nation if it failed to release US rapper A$AP Rocky, Swedish justice minister has revealed. A$AP Rocky, who is dating Rihanna, was arrested in Stockholm 3 years ago after he and two bodyguards were filmed beating up a fan outside a burger joint. His arrest and detainment in a Stockholm prison cell for over a month triggered a rare diplomatic fracas between Sweden and the US. Trump tweeted his support for A$AP Rocky after being made aware of the case by wife Melania and supportive rapper Kanye West. Swedish justice minister Johansson said yesterday that Trump threatened 'trade restrictions' if Sweden did not swiftly release A$AP Rocky. Trump also claimed to have contacted the European Commission for support. The official told Swedish newspaper: 'This story demonstrates how important it really is to stand up for our legal principles and not to take our democracy for granted. 'If you can try and do something like this against Sweden, what will you then try and do to slightly weaker countries that don’t have the European Union behind them?' Johansson added that Trump was represented by White House lawyer Pat Cipollone. Cipollone was informed that Sweden's politicians had no sway at all over judicial proceedings under the country's constitution. He unsuccessfully sought to wrangle Rocky's release on national security grounds. A$AP Rocky was ultimately convicted of assault and handed a suspended sentence. He was arrested this April on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after a shooting in Hollywood last November. He is currently out on bail. source  source https://store.taylorswift.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
